Makes me think the Soviets may have been correct in their obsession over Venus, if only by sheer luck.

Venus needs more attention. Mars is boring. Luna is boring. Venus might have some action.

And what about Europa?

Mars is doable. Luna is convenient. Venus is pure acid under ridiculous pressure that melts any probe in minutes. Europa is too far for anything serious. Enceladus is even further away.

Europa is orbiting Jupiter.

Jupiter puts out a lot of radiation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40978670

For sure, Venus needs exploration. I'd like to see an orbiting station with a 10 year mission to explore the Venusian atmosphere via drones or other methods.

Venus definitely needs more attention but regarding outer solar system, my money is on Enceladus being the most interesting one

Enceladus is the new Europa!
